Top scary terrorist held agaisnt her will

Here is exactly why the gooberment should be in charge of a 1 car funeral.

They let a guy slide that almost brought a plane down but wont let Joan Rivers on a plane. I do admit she is pretty scary looking and most may not reconize her anymore but come on. This should have been a skit on SNL on the movie airplane.

It's amazing to me the contortions we go through after a failed terrorist attack. Certainly we need to provide some protections from what these people want to do to us but it seems to me that we overreact every time and every time we do the terrorists win.
The terrorists main goal is to terrorize us and we fall into the trap each time there is an incident. Politicians and the main stream media feed into the frenzy and spread it when they depict these dirt bags as some all knowing and all doing entity that at any moment can strike you down where you stand. Let's treat these guys for what they are , low life criminals who need to be brought to justice. Each time we elevate their status as a terrorist that only helps to serve the purpose these guys are trying to achieve. Lets not make any more martyrs .
As Americans we generally consider ourselves as tough and brave lot. Why is it then that we demand more from our government in protection? This is not the Cuban missile crisis or the Cold war............... this is a group of guys who train in obscure deserts and swing from some monkey bars. Sure they pose a threat but I think that a objective risk assessment of what they really our would not justify the fear this country feels from them.
Time to stop giving these guys what we want and time to live in an environment of freedom instead of fear.

Just to be clear, we are talking about something done by airport officials in Costa Rica - right?

Costa Rica would have never let her in! They are much too Americanized and intelligent.

It was Puerto Rica. They were just being causious thinking that all her botox might have been plastic explosives instead.

The freedom to discriminate is essential to personal Liberty. Life in a free country is about being free to make choices based on your own criteria rather then one mandate by the government...Libertarian blogger

Yes, it is always an explosion of vile garbage and ignorance, not to mention the sound torture from her voice. Maybe they should play her voice 24/7 instead of rock and roll at gitmo. Almost as dangerous as napalm. Most detainees would probably ask to be waterboarded instead.
